The National Security Agency (NSA) is reportedly establishing a new Artificial Intelligence Security Center to further develop and integrate AI in federal intelligence.
“The AI Security Center will work closely with U.S. Industry, national labs, academia across the [intelligence community], and Department of Defense and select foreign partners,” NSA Director Paul Nakasone said.
Nakasone said China and Russia’s AI-related activities gave the U.S. a need to maintain an advantage in AI.
The director claimed that while AI will be used, humans have the final say in analyzing threats.
“Within the Department of Defense, within the intelligence community, AI helps us, but our decisions are made by humans and that’s an important distinction,” said Nakasone.
From The Daily Wire:
NSA’s AI Security Center is the latest federal intelligence initiative focused on developing and advancing AI technologies. Earlier this week, the CIA revealed that it was planning to unleash an AI tool to 18 intelligence agencies to sort through public information. Those agencies included the NSA, as well as the FBI and military.
